- Arsenal's title campaign has been dealt a blow with key winger Bukayo Saka expected to be sidelined for up to a month due to a left hamstring injury.
- Saka sustained the injury during the Gunners' 5-0 Premier League victory against Leeds and will miss the upcoming match against Liverpool and England's World Cup qualifiers.
- Captain Martin Odegaard also sustained a right shoulder injury in the same match and is likely to miss the Liverpool fixture, though his absence is not expected to be prolonged.
- Both players' injuries are considered less severe than initial concerns, particularly for Saka who had a lengthy lay-off last season from a different hamstring issue.
- The club is also without German forward Kai Havertz due to a knee injury, despite having bolstered its squad with new signings like Viktor Gyokeres and Eberechi Eze.
